I was looking forward to hilariously laughing at you pretending to be ignorant. You were more sarcastic which some people consider rude depending on how far you stretch sarcastic but above all, almost everyone missed the main point of this whole charade. FUN, FUN, FUN and whatever develops from there, fine. I am a professional Fun-Haver and expert Procrastinator and people are always asking me the same dumb question, why are you wasting your time? Or, that's a waste of time, blah, blah, blah. To whom is "that" a waste of who's time? Excuse me, but nobody died and left you in charge of my time. You have your own 24 hours every day - that's all you get. You can't have mine too. If I want to sit in the corner on the floor and comtemplate the meaning of string, I'm spending my time, not yours. Here's a little secret...those who say you're wasting your time doing something else is not their concern for you. No, they want you to spend that time doing something FOR THEM otherwise people really don't give a hoot. Tell 10 people your problems, 7 don't care and the other 3 are secretly glad - you've just made their day better. Another fact of life: Nothing is a waste of Time IF, and that's a big IF, you enjoy what you're doing. That's a lesson I learned as a child - never do anything you don't like doing...hire someone, trade work, ask, borrow, plead but never settle for WASTING YOUR TIME!!!! Having FUN every day is just so...FUN!! Jason, you understand the FUN concept very well. Now, if everyone else would just admit they do too...we can all have more what? FUN!! How? Spend freely and die in debt...Will anyone care how much debt you have? Just make sure your loved ones know how to catch their own fish. Traffic Kahuna was sooo much to keep up with but it works. Mayhem2 is huge...is there a smorgas board we can choose from instead of piling the whole kahuna on one plate all at once? http://syntheticsolvent.blogspot.com <--you can link to my new blog about ...you'll see!!

Why is everybody slamming on you about this? Its one 'pain in the ass' person who no doubt has nothing to do other than bitch to everybody about how badly treated they are by "everybody". She got what she deserved, lets be honest. I'm in IT support and I wish I could let loose like that every so often.... No harm in it I reckon. 33000 minus 1 = 29999 other people who actually give a shit about what you write...not bad figures if you ask me! Matt JK,

You try, try your best but it just won't work. You can't fake it anyway you try. Am not sure what to do next because they are so impossible to deal with. Maybe "Avoidance" is a good policy.

I say, either you try and make up for it in an honest and amicable way if you intend to expend energy conversing with this person or just completely forget about it and move on. Just because a person says they will not purchase from you does not always mean that you cannot win that person back through professional and courteous customer service. I have changed my mind before and this could be a legitimate complaint. It could possibly mean just sending the download link and giving a short apology. If it does not work then just move on. Negative conversing back and forth can come back to haunt you. You do not know for sure if this person is not successful and you are ignorant making that assumption. You piss of the wrong person you can ruin some of your credibility or possibly worse yet encourage some complete lunatic into stalking you online. I for one am tired of people that think because they can hide behind the internet while running their business gives them an excuse for not providing courteous service. Karma is karma whether it is doing business face to face or online. Remember if you had a support email and did not respond in a reasonable amount of time then the failure was on your end regardless of what the other person says. Do your best to make it right and move on. I for one have been frustrated in similar fashion and have sent similar emails to product owners.

Well sort of but not totally. I think you are missing the original point... when she opted in for the free ebook, for some reason she was not getting the email through Prosender... happens a small percentage of time and it happens to everyone. Her first response to me was "I am never buying anything from you"... instead of "i did not receive the email". I was immediately a scammer instead of "hmm maybe like the rest of the internet, i too occassional will not get an email because of my ip blocking it". Hey but its all perception and thanks for giving me something more to laugh at. Am i an asshole??? Just ask my ex wife she will more then likely say yes lol. LMAO… wow that is funny… and true.

For wasted time you had with your customer you could provide new or improved services to your existing customers - and all would be happy (except the complainer). I do not recall how old you are but when you are 40, you just stop replying after first or second message. Don't be like some Internet marketing gurus they never reply you back, that is rude now in social Web 2.0. I mean - they have enough money for paying support staff so I'm 100% for handling every e-mail we receive. You never know when you get an invitation to an event where you can really change this world to better. OK, enough, Happy New Year and stay the same. We like you just who and what you are. :-) John, I’m with you.

Did you all take your laptops with you and blog between drinks or something at whatever type of celebration you attended ? Man guys (and gals), get a life !! I don’t drink, smoke or go out with wild women, and I still found my own way of seeing in a new decade. (By the way, I think my wife is pretty wild and gorgeous).

I reckon there are enough “soap boxes” in your blog to keep all of North America warm through your record cold winter if you put ‘em all in a pile and burnt them. (I’m sitting here in Australia typing in my summer gear after a lovely day of high 70’s) Again .... WOW ..... I’m just amazed at how opinionated people can be about such a small difference of opinion and how it threads through all sorts of on-line social media. Finally the BIG question ....who is the winner ? WOW, I posted a response here about 24 hours ago and I just dropped in to see what’s happening and .. …. it’s still raging ???
